4. Optional: Wizard: Update ALEOS
On occasion, Sierra Wireless releases updates to the firmware
for your modem. These updates can include new features as
well as bug fixes. To make sure your modem is at optimal
performance, it is recommended to Check for Updates and
Update Now if an update is found.
Note: While checking for ALEOS Firmware updates, the Setup
Wizard uses the Internet connection on your computer to connect to
the Sierra Wireless server. Your PinPoint-E is not connected to the
wireless network for this process. If you are using Ethernet to activate
your Product Name and need to remove the Ethernet cable from your
modem to connect to your usual Internet connection to Check for
Updates, be sure to reconnect the Product Name before you select
Update Now.
